Normalization of the chiral condensate in the massive Schwinger model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Within mass perturbation theory, already the first order contribution to the chiral condensate of the massive Schwinger model is UV divergent. We discuss the problem of choosing a proper normalization and, by making use of some bosonization results, we are able to choose a normalization so that the resulting chiral condensate may be compared, e.g., with lattice data.
